Coach Marco - Coach
CrossFit Level 1 Certification
"Fitness not only changes your body, but it also changes your mind, attitude, and mood. I love
to coach and guide people of all ages through fitness. I grew up in sports as a kid, which later
on in my adult life led me to coaching my son’s local sports teams. Which then led to CrossFit
training. I started training in early 2022 after a long recovery from a sports injury. During those
recovery months, I noticed I couldn’t keep up with my kids and that I was out of breath and out
of shape. That year, I decided to join my local gym “Canis Athletics.” I know how it feels to start
from the beginning and the struggles that come with it. I’m excited to help (and maybe even
suffer!) through your Fitness journey with you."
